Advanced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) Course
Product Details
The advanced UPRT course is designed to meet the requirements of Part-FCL 745.A
The course comprises:
- 5 hours of theoretical knowledge instruction;
- pre-flight briefings and post-flight debriefings;
- 3 hours of dual flight instruction with a suitably qualified FI(A) ref FCL.915(e)
- On completion of the UPRT course, applicants will be issued with a certificate of course completion.
UPRT Course Objectives
- To understand how to cope with the physiological and psychological aspects of dynamic upsets in aeroplanes;
- To develop the necessary competence and resilience to be able to apply appropriate recovery techniques during upsets.
- Emphasise physiological and psychological effects of an upset and develop strategies to mitigate those effects;
- The recovery techniques used during the course will where possible, be compatible with techniques typically used for transport category aeroplanes.
UPRT Theoretical Knowledge
- A review of basic aerodynamics typically applicable to aeroplane upsets in transport category aeroplanes, including case studies of incidents involving potential or actual upsets.
- Aerodynamics relevant to the aeroplane and exercises used in the practical training, including differences to aerodynamics
- Possible physiological and psychological effects of an upset, including surprise and startle effect;
- Strategies to develop resilience and mitigate startle effect; and memorising the appropriate procedures and techniques for upset recovery.
UPRT Flight Instruction
Exercises to demonstrate:
- The relationship between speed, attitude and AoA;
- The effect of g-load on aeroplane performance, including stall events at different attitudes and airspeeds;
- Aerodynamic indications of a stall including buffeting, loss of control authority and inability to arrest a descent;
- The physiological effects of different g-loads between -1 and 2.5G; and surprise and the startle effect;
- Training in techniques to recover from:
- Nose high at various bank angles
- Nose low at various bank angles
- Spiral dives
- Stall events; and incipient spin
- Training to develop resilience and to employ strategies to mitigate the startle effect.
Before commencing the Advanced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) course you must: Be the holder of a PPL(A), CPL(A) or ATPL(A), including the privileges to fly at night (applicants that do not hold a CPL must hold a Course Completion Certificate for the Basic Instrument Flight Module)
Please note: Weight limitations apply
